Omeprazole Capsules IP
Omeprazole Capsules IP is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid and manage acid-related gastrointestinal conditions such as GERD, heartburn, and certain stomach and intestinal ulcers.
Product Details
Omeprazole Capsules IP contains omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that helps reduce the production of stomach acid. It is commonly used in the management of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and certain gastric and duodenal ulcers. It may also be prescribed with antibiotics as part of combination therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection.
Key Benefits
- Helps reduce excessive stomach acid production
- Supports the management of GERD and acid reflux
- Helps relieve acid-related heartburn
- Supports healing of acid-damaged esophageal tissue
- Helps manage certain gastric and duodenal ulcers
- May be used with antibiotics for H. pylori eradication therapy
How It Works
Omeprazole blocks the gastric proton pump (H+/K+-ATPase) in the stomach lining. This reduces the final stage of stomach acid production, lowering gastric acidity and helping relieve acid-related symptoms while supporting the healing of the esophagus and stomach.

Important Information
Omeprazole Capsules IP should be used according to the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. Prolonged use may require medical monitoring because long-term acid suppression can be associated with low magnesium or vitamin B12 levels, bone fractures, and certain gastrointestinal infections. Inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking and any history of liver disease or other medical conditions. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist or if you experience difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools.
